Chapter 141:10
Laws of the Megillah
10. It is customary in all Jewish communities that one does not read the
Megillah for the congregation from a rolled up scroll (that is, with the
scroll opened only to the page presently being read). Instead it should be
unrolled [completely] and then folded section over section, like a letter
("Iggeres") (1), because [the Megillah] is referred to as " The Purim
Letter" (Esther 9:29)." The people listening to the Megillah do not have to
unroll their own Megillahs.
FOOTNOTES:
(1) The Megillah should be unrolled and folded before the reader recites
the blessings preceding the reading, so that there will be no interruption
between the blessings and the reading.
